Booting from SD card on Pinetab2
#3
Thank you for the advice,

I tried following your procedure on the linked thread. I found the "osimage.img" file and wrote that to my SD card. It formed four volumes: one 32 mb volume of free space, one boot partition, one OS partition, and then another 9.7 GB volume of free space. I tried booting again, but it only booted from the eMMC. I'm not very familiar with this, so it might be a dumb question, but could the bootloader not be recognising the SD card because the card starts with a partition of blank space?

I also tested mounting the SD card on the tablet, so I know that it isn't a hardware problem.
